We always called those tri-stars...they were cool as hell back in the day.

Not really feeling the Mercedes, wheels or car.

No. I'm not a big fan of Mercedes styling these days. Do I respect the car's abilities/performance? Yes. Do I like the looks of it? No.

Actually the first one to come out with the 3 spoke was ANTERA, Prime copied the Anteras. Anteras looked much better because the spokes were thinner. Looked damn good on my Accord Coupe.

You've come a long way since then. I would say your taste in cars and modifications has drastically improved.
